An Ocean Full of Mermaid Dolls 
The doll that got me back into collecting Barbies as an adult was a mermaid Barbie. It's true I had been thinking about trying to replace the vintage dolls which were stolen from my mother's attic, and a friend had suggested I buy a reproduction Barbie, but the doll that lured me in was a mermaid - the 1995 Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie Doll, to be exact.

I remember passing her in the aisle at Walmart and doing a double take. Until my old dolls were stolen, I hadn't spent time in the Barbie aisles in years, but I had just started thinking "replacement," and there she sat with her sparkling golden tail and the longest blond hair I had ever seen on a Barbie. I passed that doll several times over the next week or two, but much like the sirens of old, she called out to me. Before long, I was untying my first set of twist-ties from a Barbie box and braiding her long hair (see above, front-right).
